Dishwasher Cutlery Basket

We buy these in bulk usually so as to cut down the cost and get a nice cheap cutlery basket as it's a really common and annoying thing to break on a dishwasher. Normally the bottom of the cutlery basket will get riddled with holes, very often from people dropping things in it from too high a height which, over time, weakens the plastic of the cutlery basket and eventually it breaks.

WARNING!

There are a lot of really cheap and nasty cutlery baskets for sale out there, most of them are made poorly in China or places like that and, frankly, we won't sell them as they're so bad. Looking at them the wrong way will break them the plastic is so thin. We did try some and we got complaints of in excess of 40% of those few that we sent to people so we stopped using them, we did of course replace with the higher quality basket at no cost.

This is why you will see some dishwasher cutlery baskets, often the same size and with the same or similar photograph offered on other sites at a much lower cost. It's because they're also a much lower quality and we won't accept a lower standard than we would normally just to get a cheap price.

Of course we have other dishwasher cutlery baskets available for specific models and, if they are still available, we can obtain almost any dishwasher model's basket, simply drop us a line with your requirements to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk and we will source virtually any spare part you require.

Dishwasher Cutlery Baskets

Dishwasher cutlery baskets are usually a plastic mesh basket which is usually in one piece, with perhaps just the handle as a separate spare part although these are normally supplied with the basket and not separately.

Whilst you see many cutlery baskets on the internet we tend to steer away from the cheaper ones as the plastics used can be not as high quality and they break sooner than you might expect. We tend to stick to the higher quality cutlery baskets.

The most common thing that causes a cutlery basket to break is for people to drop knives and other heavy items of cutlery into the basket which, over time, slowly stresses the bottom of the basket. Eventually the plastic cracks and allows items to fall through. It is important to replace the cutlery basket when this happens as items that drop through like that can stop the lower spray arm from properly turning causing poor wash results and leaks.

Low Cost Spares

Low cost compatible spare parts are not generic spare parts, they are quite different and fall into several different categories. This means that with some, care must be taken to ensure you get the most appropriate replacement part to suit you.

The most common that we use here is the exactly same part as the manufacturer used only from a different source.Most commonly this is as the brand that has it's name on the front of the appliance you own will almost certainly not have made all the components themselves so, with a bit of clever sourcing, you can often get exactly the same part but cheaper from elsewhere, even from another manufacturer just using a different part number.

Save Money On Spare Parts

The savings to be made in some cases are very substantial, in others it may less and with some not be worth the bother and normally if this is the case we don't even list the compatible.

Another reason for a compatible part being available is more tricky, a part that has been produced specifically as a replica as it is a common or popular part. The simple truth is, some of these are good and some bad with some of the bad ones being extremely cheap indeed but, not very good almost in equal measure.

We do try to weed out these parts, the ones that really aren't worth buying if you ask us and not even list them but for a few we have for some basic reasons.

The primary one is that people get the idea when they see parts that cheap on certain auction sites and suchlike that these are a bargain and, they are, just not a good one as the part is liable to fail again, often quickly. Sellers on many sites don't care about this, we do so we will tell you not to buy these parts, we will sell them but we are happy to tell you it's a bad idea and why.

If there's no warning about the quality then it means that we have not had any issues with this particular replacement, even if it's not from exactly the same source.

Obsolete Spare Parts

Another common reason for using compatible parts is that the original is no longer available and an alternative may be the only option available or, a universal spare part.

We are confident on the parts we sell like this as we have a simple yardstick to judge them by that many do not or cannot, we're field service engineers, if we wouldn't fit it then we don't expect our customers to fit them either if the replacement part is inferior.
